So our planning controls for Oxford Street will need to reinforce the many possibilities, supporting growth and diversity, protecting heritage and character and promoting day and night-time economies. Last year we leased three City buildings which make up 40 per cent of the street frontage from Oxford Square to Taylor Square to the investment group Ashe Morgan.

The company has committed to renewing the buildings with office spaces, cafes, small bars, restaurants and — importantly — maintaining our subsidised creative spaces. And on the ground our staff distributed information and masks to protect them from the virus. And at the beginning of , I participated in the opening of the new HammondCare facility in Darlinghurst just opposite Bar Coluzzi, that is caring for older people, especially older women, who are homeless and have complex, high-care needs.

The City is continuing to advocate for and to do our bit to invest in affordable housing in our City. Early last year, construction started on an important social and affordable housing development at Gibbons Street Redfern.

This will deliver social and affordable apartments, as well as a community hub and office space for St George Community Housing. The City made this possible by selling this former Council Depot site to St George at a significantly discounted value. I look forward to this building being finished mid-year. The doors opened on two affordable housing complexes in the past year, on former city sites sold at a discount to City West Housing.

This has provided 99 affordable housing units in Blackwattle Bay and 75 in Harold Park — the final development on the Harold Park site. This is the first aquatic centre in Australia to hold a 5-star rating under the Green Building Council of Australia Design rating scale. The multi-use synthetic sports field can be used for a variety of sports and there is also an outdoor fitness area as well as passive parkland yet to be created. We also have a number of great projects that are just getting started, including the Collins and Turner designed plan for indoor sports courts in Alexandria, and our former heritage Haymarket Library which is to become the Museum of Chinese in Australia.

The construction industry has continued unabated during coronavirus last year and I participated in a number of topping out ceremonies and openings. Especially important is the Greenland Building which will house a five-storey creative hub, for dance, music and community groups in the heart of our city on Bathurst Street. This was negotiated by the City for ninety-nine year lease at a peppercorn rent. The City has also been able to move forward with our Central Sydney Planning Strategy which will allow for growth in specific parts of the city, while protecting important parks and public spaces from overshadowing.

Thank you to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Panel for their advice and input during the year. This year, we will finalise our work on Sustainable Sydney , the next iteration of our Sustainable Sydney work, and our long-term vision, to continue our transformation of Sydney as a great place to live and work.

And this provided work for our performers as well as the hospitality and small business sectors. She was forced to resign on 21 September after a state law made it illegal for her to continue in both roles. An opinion piece in the Sydney Morning Herald once said: "In her 20 years as MP, with more successful private member's bills than anyone in a century, Moore has done more to keep the bastards honest than Don Chipp ever did. Throughout her public life, Clover has championed progressive policies.

The council went carbon neutral in ; the next year Moore finalised the Sustainable Sydney plan which called for a reduction in carbon emissions of 70 per cent. She says the council is on track to meet that target by , six years early, and is now focused on reaching net zero by On Saturday, the state and federal governments announced they would fund an additional cycleway on Oxford Street linking Taylor Square to Paddington Gates, citing a 40 per cent increase in cycling since the start of Ever since, Moore has positioned herself as an independent bulwark against the major parties and developers.

Then there were the two attempts to throttle her power; firstly with laws to prevent her being a mayor and MP at the same time, then a rule change ahead of the election to give businesses two votes each in the City of Sydney, which an outraged Moore labelled a blatant gerrymander. Moore and her husband even attended a James Morrison concert with Perrottet and his wife as part of the jointly-funded Sunset Piazza series at Cathedral Square.

She has fought what she saw as unreasonable development in Pyrmont, was forced to accept height limits in Green Square beyond what she considered ideal and is currently doing battle with the government over density at the Waterloo Estate redevelopment. But Moore is not anti-development.

Her prerogative is locking in good design. If they have to comply with certain principles laid down by government, they will. Please try again later. The Sydney Morning Herald.
